Chapter #2A Discovery at the Bank by: Merlin92   After escaping from his hated relatives, 18 year old Harry Potter made his way to Diagon Alley and then to Gringotts.
It had been a strange summer so far. First was a newspaper article which came out a few days into the summer which proclaimed 'ALBUS DUMBLEDORE DIES IN SLEEP.' the article reported that the beloved Headmaster had passed away the day after the school year ended. Harry found that he didn't know how to feel.
In his mind, a voice told him that he should be sad. Albus Dumbledore was a great man who could do no wrong. He should continue his work for the Greater Good. He was a Good Boy for Albus Dumbledore. A Good Boy.
But in his heart, he strangely felt happy and free. The voice in his head was quieter than before.
Then another article proclaimed 'DUMBLEDORE'S DARK DEEDS.' which talked about the release of Dumbledore's secret diary which talked about the man's evil schemes for their world. While the whole diary had not yet been released, one of the things that had been released was that Sirius Black was not his parents secret keeper and that it was actually Peter Pettigrew who was apparently still alive.
Sirius was freed the day before Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge was to do his yearly visit to Azkaban, and was undergoing medical treatment for Dementor exposure, but had mentioned that he looked forward to meeting his godson (Harry).
But before that could happen, Harry was on his way to Gringotts to get his money for his school shopping.
He walked into the great white building and walked up to the nearest Goblin Teller.
"Excuse me." he spoke in a meek and submissive voice. The Goblin looked at him in disdain. Harry shrank back at the glare but was soon able to say "I'd like to withdraw some money, please sir."
The Goblin sneered at him. "Name?" it asked, still having a duty to perform.
"H-Harry Potter, sir." he answered.
The Goblin blinked at the name and looked at something on its desk. "Ah, yes." it a somewhat friendlier(for a Goblin) tone. "Mr. Potter. Follow me please. We've been expecting you." The Goblin hopped down and led Harry to a rear door.
The gold plaque read Bitchbreaker - Potter Account Manager.
The Goblin opened the door to reveal a larger Goblin at a desk of its own. The smaller Goblin with Harry cleared its throat. "Sir, Mr. Harry Potter is here in regards to that important matter." he said, once again emphasizing Harry's gender and name for some reason.
The Large Goblin looked up. "Ah, yes. Thank you, Nutsack." he said to the Goblin. The smaller goblin left and Bitchbreaker pointed to the chair in front of his desk. "Sit, Young Potter." he ordered.
Harry did so and waited dutifully. The Goblin eventually spoke after observing him for a moment. "Tell me, Potter, have you heard of the recent news about Albus Dumbledore?" he asked.
Harry nodded, eager to express his loyalty to the Great Albus Dumbledore. "Yes, sir. But i don't believe any of it. Albus Dumbledore was a Great Man, who could do no wrong." he said obediently even as his stomach rumbled painfully.
The Goblin looked somewhat disturbed by his devotion. "Mmm, i was worried about this." he said before passing over a piece of parchment and a red quill. "Please write your full name on the parchment with this quill." The Goblin ordered.
Harry did so after a moment wincing as it felt as though someone was stabbing the back of his hand with needles. But then once he'd finished, the words Harry James Potter faded away and were replaced with

At this point, Harry (No that wasn't his-her name!) had to stop reading.
The Goblin spoke in a voice that could almost be considered concerned if he was human. "Are you alright, Miss Potter?"
Yes, she was Miss Potter. She knew it in her heart that it was true. The voice in her head that spoke of Dumbledore's greatness was much easier to ignore than before.
The Goblin spoke. "The Ministry discovered the truth in Dumbledore's journal and wanted to inform you before it was released to the public. The Minister himself was going to speak to you at the Leaky Cauldron but you arrived early so we volunteered to take care of you."
She nodded, before asking in an unsure voice. "Please can you help me, sir?" she asked him hopefully.
Bitchbreaker smiled with all teeth visible. "Yes, we at Gringotts can. In fact it is best that we take care of this first before getting back to your inheritance." He said before handing her a potion. "This is a flushing draught, the cleanse you of the potions in your system. You will pass out and our Curse Breaker will handle the spells and Wards on you."
Now able to completely ignore the voice in her head screaming at her that she was a boy and that everything Albus Dumbledore did was for the Greater Good, Miss Potter picked up the potion. Before drinking she said a quiet "Thank you for your help, sir." and then necked it in one go.
The last thing she saw before everything went black was her chest ballooning out in front of her.
Who is she upon waking and what is her hair color?
Red, Blond, Black?
